It’s an unfortunate rainy day today. I had planned to go for a ride, but since it’s raining, I’ve been working on my bike since this morning.
While I was at it changing the crank, I pulled out the seatpost to drain any water and apply fresh grease. When you give your bike some proper care, it runs smoothly and stays in great shape.
Now, let me introduce a bike I handed over yesterday.
It’s a Surly Cross-Check. The owner, who already has a road bike, chose this one as a dedicated commuter. With Bruce Gordon Rock’n Road tires, it’s a comfortable commuter setup that lets you ride over curbs without a second thought.
We chose a Gamoh front rack and a LINUS North Road Handle Bar for the cockpit.
Although budget was a consideration this time, if you’re looking to fully gear up for your commute, a hub dynamo is also a great recommendation.
You can also choose accessories like Sykes wood fenders to match your bike.
Please use this as a reference, and feel free to reach out for a consultation.
